Figure I will use this as a semi update thread instead of So i started Keto almost exactly 8 weeks ago and has lost exactly 30lbs. I guess it is normal or maybe less since initially it is water weight. I have noticed recently my loss has been more or less consistent around 3 lbs - does this indicate that i have reached the…

I am not sure if mine is right or not in terms of calorie burning. but i average 11,400 steps a day and burn ~1000 carlories from the activties (taken from my fitbit)...

yeah i just want to make sure the calorie is right... for example apparenty the 1.4lbs pork belly meat i bought had like 3000 calories in it... even i split 4 ways it is still a lot for 4 pieces of meat (total 16 pieces)...

cool. i deginitely want to try making this this weekend i guess for lunch - instead of bacon i will add sausage for extra protein.

that looks so yummy! do you know how many calories per serving? it looks like a lot..

i love guacamole. I get the 3 tub lime tomato flavored at costco - the only complaint i have is the containers dont have a lid so i have to eat it fast!

So a different topic but similar theme... I am going on a cooking class this weekend and will be making some food and eating it... the menu is : Seared Scallops with Romesco Sauce Spiced Pork Tenderloin with Pomegranate Sauce – Grilled Asparagus with Sherry and Honey Crème Catalana The Creme catalana is definitely a no no…

I like spinach, bokchoy, watercress. I usually have a "bunch" for lunch and dinner. I also take a dietary fiber gummy for 5g soluable fiber just in case. I havent had any problem with bowel movements or whatnot for not having enough fiber. There really isnt a veggie that i am dying to eat while in this plan... I guess I do…

I usually make a bunch sunday night for the work week. It usually takes me 30-40 minutes to prep and cook: This week's meals are: Lunch: Chicken thigh with skin with guacamole on top with bok choy. Dinner; pork cubes with watercress. I start by putting the thighs in oven sprinkling little bit of pepper(the guac brings in…

my diary is open too. it is pretty accurate weekdays but weekends i tend to be lazy lol...

I havent had that problem yet but i dont like too "optimistic" people: guy at gym: omg you must've lost a pound after the workout! same guy at gym next day: you must have lost a pound or two right? I am not against comments like "i see you been losing some weight" but people who comments about it everyday annoys me just…

yeah it is chinese dumplings typically have veggies and meat in it. Typically that will be the main dish and depending on families there may or may not be side dishes but if there are it will have meat and veggies for sure. I guess I could just out right say i am on a diet and eat the fillings then? Keto is still a foreign…

do people go to 70% after a while in keto from 80%? Also in terms of cooking.. the fatty meats leaves grease and fat after cooking - are we supposed to eat that too(put it on salad?) or we are to somehow subtract that from total fat content from the meat?

I hope i can lose 50 in 3 months... I think "lifting heavy" seems to be the theme in maintaining muscle for low carb /low cal dieters and I get that. When you did your heavy weights did you focus on one of the plans you mentioned (5x5 etc.) or you did something else? Did you focus on particular muscle groups each day? i am…

i am trying to do the keto diet... plus i need to lose lots of weight...

but doesnt low carb affects the energy available though? does low carb diet affect the time for lifting as well?

I do zumba about 5 times a week with other cardio workouts for the days i am not. I can't comment on how much weight i lost due to zumba since i am on low calorie diet and other exercises are mixed in BUT using fitbit i burn about 500+ calories a session and doing very rough math 500*5 sessions * 4 weeks/month = 10000+…

Ok so i might bump up my cal to officially 1300... I feel i have been eating around there this past week with extra meat as the 200... I find my LBM is 160ish so my protein should be 80 and i think i will hit that with 1300 since right now with 1100 i am eating low 70s.... Other than that I really dont feel any negative…

Well my LBM is 155 so i should be hitting a minimum 77 or so and my current plan has about 70ish... so i am close enough? Also another question about protein/fat. I read that if i eat too little protein or have too much deficit it could eat my muscles...but with a lot of weight to lose is the trade off worth it? As in lose…

i see what you are saying and i might be counting cals too much... but honestly i dont know if i am adapted to it now or what i dont really feel hungry on the 1200 cal diet - the only times i really do feel hungry is for dinner since i have it around 8ish after gym.

but if i go .5 g protein per lb then i would be over 100g protein isnt that a lot of total calories considering protein is 20-30% of keto diet? i am trying to go for 1200 calories a day and the protein for that amount of calories is actually my ideal weight's protein.... does this mean that if i dont take 1/2 my body…

ok so i went on a date today and we decided to get dimsum... i am not sure (how can i tell?) if i got knocked out of keto or not from that meal... I had: 1 shumai 1 seafood shumai few pork belly with bok choy (there is sauce on it so probably carbs...) 1 duck eggroll 2 pieces of fried calamari - i tried my best to take the…

Not sure if accurate or not but i bought some ketostix and it shows my level is between 10-40...basically the color is darker than 10but not as dark as 40... this is bad isnt it

It was probably too much salt then. I did have a liter of diet soda as well.. today i did see a pound come off.. i guess i should stop overeating even if it is not carbs...

While in keto would i still see weight fluctuations as much as 3 lbs? i had a bigger dinner last night of eggs and meat and found myself gaining 3-4lbs! Is this normal even on keto? I certainty didn't eat that many calories..

ok this is weird but i read elsewhere that people say while in ketosis doing exercise will cause loss slowdown because the body becomes more efficient through exercising... is that true at all?

i have been taking this fiber gummy thing that has 5g dietary fiber which they say is soluble fiber...that counts as 5 carbs right? and i still dont have nay idea i am in ketosis or not.... i am still losing weight though....

i see... so with that said is there a regimen that is designed for people in keto from both HIIT and HISS point of view so i can use it as a blueprint then adjust as i go?

what do you mean what works best for your body? like how can i tell which is better? weight loss or general mood? From what I gathered HIIT is good for getting into Keto as it burns out carbs quickly BUT eats up muscles later since no/little carb to consume. LISS seems to be good for Keto since it doesnt eat up as much…

my current routine i try to avoid anything dealing with squats and lunges and focus on the exercise on the weight machines instead. the routine typically call for 15 reps 4 sets - it might be too much? I had a fitness trainer for a few sessions and when i trained with him he had me do (forget the exact name) reps from…
